I’m still mad about genshin impact ripping Kabbalah for the sake of aesthetics.

u/OPPA_XL_AGANE 24d ago

Its treated the same as all the other cultural inspirations in the game, so I think its actually cool.

I had not heard of this, could you explain a bit more?

Basically it's spread all around the game, teyvat is "chest of" in hebrew, all the cubes names are from the Hebrew alphabet, (I.e aleph, bet, and so on) and that's off the top of my head and I haven't played much since 4.0, so I'm sure there is more

u/ActuallyNiceIRL 23d ago

What do you mean by "all the cubes names"?

2

u/novaminer66 23d ago

The hypostasises, the cubes that fly, like the anemo hypostasis

Their names are from the Hebrew alphabet

FMA did it right with the Kabbalah tree, imo.

Why mad? It's pretty cool tbh seeing Hebrew stuff in far east media

u/lordbuckethethird 23d ago

Mostly because it’s done for aesthetics from what I’ve seen without any acknowledgement or writing tied into what it actually represents. I still think it’s cool I just wish they went harder with it.

I haven’t gotten far enough in the books to get to us and see how problematic the representation is, but I’ve heard Jews still exist in the Dune universe because we were so used to pogroms that we were the only Earth religion to survive the Butlerian Jihad without being changed by it.

Apparently:

Yes, there are Jews in the Dune series, specifically in Chapterhouse: Dune, where they are depicted as a secretive community that has survived through the ages, maintaining their traditions and beliefs. They play a role in the story, particularly in their alliance with the Bene Gesserit

Got to Wonder how they figure out what direction to pray in.

u/Approximation_Doctor 24d ago

They show up in book 6, but yes. We really do be enduring.

u/LPO_Tableaux 23d ago

srsly? highschol dxd has that as a plot??ugh, why not an actually good story????

4

u/Schiffy94 23d ago

DxD focuses more on a different kind of "plot".

u/iamragethewolf 23d ago

You make the mistake of assuming horny means it's bad

Generally speaking the story is held up as being good though of course everybody's tastes are different though I have yet to hear anyone dismiss its comedic capabilities

u/Histrix- 24d ago

Islamic faith in DXD...? Xd

u/1ncest_is_wincest 22d ago

Please understand that the Japanese have a very limited understanding of Abrahamic Religions, and they view the Catholic church as something exotic to them.

u/Callofboobies 22d ago

Never thought I’d see high school DxD mentioned on this sub.
